Our World – Geocaching on Turkey Mountain

I have geocache named Rock City  hidden deep on Turkey Mountain. The last person who looked for it reported that they couldn’t find it although they looked twice.  I knew that somebody had probably “muggled” it. Geocacher lingo for stealing or vandalizing a cache.

So I made me another cache out of a Bismati rice jar and some camo duct tape.

Son and I packed it up and headed up to Turkey Mountain. You can see the finished cache container sitting on the sign to the left.

A mountain unicycler came on by. Ultra cool. I have seen unicyclers on the mountain before but they had poles. This guy just had pure balance.

We passed this thing. I told Logan that it is the skeleton of a the TurkeyMountasaurous dinosaur. He quit believing in his Dad’s stories a long time ago. Shows you how smart he is. Compared to me at least.

This is Rock City. It is quite the meeting place. Stay here long enough you will see runners, hikers, bicyclists, geoachers, and micro car enthusiasts all converge here. One of whom stole my cache. I hope they quit. Anyway I replaced it. Here is the story of when we planted the cache two years ago. I put recyclable cameras in the caches I plant nowadays and ask finders to take pictures of themselves. Here are some pictures of people who have found the cache.

Then for grins and giggles we went over to another cache to Tom’s Turkey Mountain Homestead to look for it, again. I have been here at least a half dozen times the last year looking for it. I spent about a half hour rooting around looking for it. It is a micro so it is very small. I didn’t find it this time either.

As we left I noticed that a nearby tree was laughing at me. I don’t blame him. Next time I might bring my axe and see how he laughs then. (Just kidding folks!)

On the way out we passed Pepsi lake. Oddly enough it has a bunch of old Pepsi truck bodies sitting on the dam. I have no idea why. It is also the site of another evil little microcache, What are These Doing Here. I found it finally last year kind of by accident.

We finished our little adventure tired and a little muddy but we had a great walk in the woods.

When was the last time you had a nice walk in the woods?

    How sad that some caches get stolen, but I’m glad you replaced it so other searchers can have fun. I love to hike in the woods but haven’t lately because the trails are a bit too icy here.

    Neat post and great photos ~ Sorry to hear your caches probably got stolen ~ but that you stashed another one ~ Intriquing idea ~ I walk rather frequently and always ‘clears my head’ ~ Happy New Year to you ~ carol, xxx

    The last time I had a walk in the woods was Saturday. It was very peaceful but I don’t think nearly as fun as yours!
    Happy New Year to you and your family.

    That looks like you’ve had fun! Never seen a mono cyclst! In Switzerland we live close to a forest- walking the dog on a daily base is fun . In France we have a house in the sticke- out and about and in the garden all the time. The best things a for free! Have a lot of fun and joy in the New Year!
